Problem getting error writing video file

My son is trying to save a video to file and keeps getting an error that
really doesn't make sense. This error occurs sometime even before it tries
to write the files, and at other times, it writes the file 10% of the way,
then gives the error.

The error message indicates there are are 3 possible problems:

1. There is not enough disk space.
2. The source files are missing.
3. The destination where the file is being written to is no longer available.

None of these 3 conditions are true. The hard drive has 44GB of space, and
the size of the video file we are trying to save would be about 10MB. We
have also tried writing the file to a SD card just to test this situation,
but we get the same error.

We are able to play the actual video through within Movie Maker itself,
which I am assuming means that the source files are avialable.

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

=================================
You may have some incompatibility issues
with your source files. Have a look at the

Thanks very much for sending the reference web site.

We took a look at them and tried what they suggested, but we are still
having the problem.

Do you have any more suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry, I thought converting the files to
compatible formats would clear it up.
